Mom works hard all year long, so each year the Garden sets aside not one, but two days to pamper her. This is an opportunity for families to bring their mothers and enjoy a special day at the Garden. The first 250 moms admitted each day will receive a free potted plant courtesy of Rountree Plantation Garden Center. The weekend features live music, carriage rides, family crafts, a food truck during lunch hour, and more all at select times throughout the weekend. The Wine Nook at the Garden store will offer mimosas with a selection of fresh fruit flavors and sparkling wines.
